New Errand Running Service in this Area
Wants to do Business Based on an Old
Concept: “Good Service!”
Today General Support Services LLC
(GSS) wants to announce the launching
of an errand running service oriented to
residents in the Sebastian / Barefoot Bay
and surrounding areas with a renovated
concept: To do business focusing on you,
the Customer.
Once upon a time in America, there
was not as much bargaining as it is today
but businesses competed with each other
by providing good service. That’s long
gone now.
“Anybody can run errands on behalf
of others but very few are going to concentrate in your entire satisfaction, says
Norman R. Koch the owner. Nowadays
everybody is concerned with making a
buck, but who pays attention to what is
delivered?
“Don’t misunderstand us, of course
we want to attain financial success in our
enterprise, but we want our success to
S
come out of taking real good care of our
clientele.”
At GSS, the main goal is to provide
the best service at the best price possible
and start by delivering, at least, what
was promised. You’ll perhaps get a little
more, if doable, but never less than what
was offered.
About: Norman R. Koch, a retired
insurance professional and educator
is the founder and owner of General
Support Services LLC. After successfully
running his own school of insurance and
previously an agency, he spent most of
his active years in the Miami –Dade area.
He moved to Brevard where he’s been a
resident of Barefoot Bay since 2012.

Important Ideas Are Moving Through
Congress
Contrary to what you may have heard
in the media, Washington is not all partisanship and gridlock. In the House of
Representatives, Members of Congress
from both sides are working together to
advance common sense ideas to make
our nation stronger and more competitive. I would like to recap some important
bipartisan legislative success stories from
this year, which I believe will have a positive impact on our local communities here
in Florida.
Expanding
Commercial
Space
Exploration: It’s no secret that federal agencies like the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Department of
Defense, and NASA oversee different
aspects of commercial space launches,
and sometimes there is overlapping jurisdiction which causes confusion and costly
delays. To solve this problem, I worked
with like-minded members of the House
Science Committee to craft a bipartisan proposal to streamline the regulatory
process, encourage cooperation between
these government agencies, and eliminate red tape and bureaucracy impeding
development of the commercial space
sector. This will help cut costs for both
the federal government and commercial
companies, make U.S. companies more
competitive in the global marketplace,
and attract more commercial launches to
Florida.
On a similar note, the House also
passed a bipartisan proposal I introduced
with Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-WA) to create a legal framework to protect property rights for American companies that
obtain asteroid resources in outer space.
Asteroids are excellent potential sources
of highly valuable resources and minerals. Space technology has advanced to
the point that the private sector is now
able to begin exploring and developing
resources in space. Americans are willing
to invest in asteroid mining, but they need
legal certainty that they can keep the
fruits of their labor. Legislative initiatives
like this will help pave the way for exciting
future commercial space endeavors while
putting the focus on creating jobs in the
STEM fields.
Reforming and Reauthorizing the
National Estuary Program: Our natural
treasures have tremendous importance
to our quality of life, economy, and local
property values. To help preserve and
protect our natural assets like our Indian
River Lagoon, I re-introduced The Estuary
Urgent Needs Priority Program Act (H.R.
573) with Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL)
earlier this year. Our bipartisan bill redirects funding within the National Estuary
Program (NEP) account from administrative activities and puts it back in the field
to improve our nation’s estuaries, like
our Lagoon, that face sea grass loss and
harmful algae blooms.
The language from our bill was incorporated into a larger National Estuary
Program reauthorization bill, of which I
am an original cosponsor, and passed the
House in early June. The reauthorization
bill will ensure consistent base grants of
$27 million for Fiscal Years 2016 through
2020, and it makes sure an extra 15% of
each year’s funding goes toward estuaries
with urgent needs.
Protecting Insurance Policyholders: It
seems far-fetched, but under the DoddFrank financial reform law, the federal
government could decide to tap into your
homeowner’s, auto, or life insurance as a
source of easy money to bail out a financial firm that made bad bets on Wall Street.
For states like Florida with many different
kinds of insurance-related resources and
challenges, raiding insurance policies to
prop up failing banks could have serious repercussions. The House Financial
Services Committee agrees, and recently
members unanimously approved bipartisan legislation I introduced with Rep. Brad
Sherman (D-CA) to direct the federal
government to work with states to ensure
that whatever action is taken, insurance
policyholders are not at risk.
While Congress may be divided on
important issues (like securing our border
or how best to deal with our $18.3 trillion national debt) those disagreements
should not prevent other common sense
solutions from moving forward. Many
great ideas have already passed the
House with bipartisan support, and if the
Senate would act, we’ll be a step closer to
ending gridlock in Washington.

A Word From Your
County Commissioner
Trudie Infantini
County Commissioner, District 3
County Commissioners Planning Increase To
Fuel Tax
Your County Commissioners are planning on increasing your fuel tax! Many
speakers and I had to fight to get the
commissioners to table the vote during the November 5, 2015 Commission
meeting discussing the preparation
of the “Legislative Intent” to raise the
gas tax 100%. During the meeting the
Commissioners stated ROADS are a core
government function. The unanswered
question remains, if it is a CORE function why wasn’t it funded in the budget?
Why are we groveling for more money
two months after approving the annual
budget?
Now we are having workshops discussing how to fund the roads if we don’t
raise the gas tax 6 cents per gallon.
(Don’t be surprised if next the other commissioners place on next year’s ballot
an increase of a half-cent sales tax as
well.) Why, when we finally see some
relief from the skyrocketing fuel prices of
the past, would the county jump on the
opportunity to charge us 6 cents more
per gallon of gas? And as history has
shown us, once government implements
a tax, it is here to stay.
I ask you, citizens of Brevard, is it fair
to increase your fuel taxes because of the
County’s mismanagement of funds? The
Board has strayed from the core function
of government, and allocates millions of
dollars for corporate welfare and payments to special district projects before
infrastructure.
To name a few of these frivolous
projects, the County allocated $6M for
a speculation building for commercial
purposes, and another $6M for a mall
in Titusville. The County also found it
necessary to purchase 20, $5,000 palm
trees to line highway 520. These are the
choices your local government has been
making with YOUR tax dollars, and yet
argues that there is not enough current
funding for roads.
Looking at these spending decisions,
wouldn’t the more appropriate solution
to the problem of road restructuring be
to prioritize the county’s current budget
to encompass greater funding to roads,
rather than increasing taxes on fuel? The
increase would bring Brevard up to the
highest level of fuel tax rates in the state.
I urge you to contact your County
Commissioners to voice your opinion
on the matter. Remember, WE work for
YOU!

A Word From Your
HOA PRESIDENT
(321) 952-5511 • arnoldair.com
By Wilma Weglein
Greetings!
The month of October was a busy one
for the HOA with our usual meetings, the
Candidate Forum, as well as the Trunk
or Treat on Halloween afternoon for the
children of the Bay. Also, the Halloween
Dance in Building A that evening . Both
events were successes. The Trunk or
Treat had over 100 youngsters signed
up and plenty of candy was provided by
all the residents. Thank you for supporting this event. WE ALSO HAD PRIZES
of $25 gift certificates from Walmart
for the winners for the top 3 costumes.
The winners were as follows: “Most
Original” – Toni Schwartz dressed as
“Rosie The Riveter”; “Most Fancy” –
Blossom Pasquarelli dressed as “Princess
Elsa”; “Most Scary” – Nathan Marchone”
dressed as Zombiemorphis”.
In addition, 8 special awards were
given coupons for MacDonals for ice
cream cones. The winners were Charles
McDonough dressed as a “Dinosaur and
with his Pug dog”; Iralyn Pena dressed as
“Mother Nature”; Bailey Burke dressed as
a “Cheerleader”;Beau Douglas dressed
as a “Zombie” with blood running down
his face; Cheyenne Clouser dressed as
“Queen of Hearts”; Skyler Elkins dressed
as a “Hippie”; Ava Dunlevey dressed as
a “Hawaiian Girl; and Madison Williams
dressed as a “Christmas Gift”. There
were so many others dressed in costumes, I am sure it was hard for the
Judges to decide. We thank everyone
for coming and taking part in this project.
I want to thank the ladies who registered the children for the contest –
Margaret, Vicky and Patty. Also a big
thank you to the three judges – Dorothy,
Mary and Carol. GREAT JOB ladies.
Also, a big thank you to Tim and
Jan Hannify for the donation of the gift
certificates for the ice cream cones from
MacDonalds. We appreciate very much
your participation in this project.
Cathy Wortman also ran a wonderful
dance that evening for the HOA. Thank
you Cathy for all your hard work each
month (and Harold too) for the HOA.
We hope to have at our December
General Meeting a representative from
St. John’s River Water Management
District to speak on the new Micco/
Wheeler Stormwater Park off of Fleming
Grant Road.
The Election is over, and we wish to
thank the District for allowing it to be
taped and shown on the Bright House
Government channel. We wish the new
trustees the best in the years to come,
as well as a thank you to both to Louise
Crouse and Tom Guinther for their hard
work over the years.
Thanksgiving will have come and
gone, and I hope all had a wonderful
holiday.
Christmas and the end of the year will
be here before we know it. I hope everyone enjoys the Holidays, and stay safe if
travelling.

Well another election has come and
gone. The home owners of Barefoot Bay
have spoken. I just hope your decisions
were made based on conversations you
had with the candidates and not on who
had the most signs. I want to congratulate both Mrs. Wright and Mr. Diana. I
look forward to working with both of you.
I would also like to thank Mr. Guinther
and Mrs. Crouse for their many years
of service to the Bay. At times we saw
things differently but I respect your commitment to the Bay and hope that you
will both share your experience with
what is now an almost all new Board of
Trustees.
It’s time to get serious about the problems facing our beloved Barefoot Bay.
This month I want to help you understand
our charter and the $25,000.00 spending
cap and what has to go to referendum and
what doesn’t. Before I became a trustee,
like many of you, I thought everything
costing more than $25,000.00 had to go
to referendum. As a new trustee when I
inquired about this I was introduced to
the “Mulhern” judgement. Reading this
document opened my eyes and taught
me that we have to see the whole picture
to fully understand the facts. If you read
the entire charter it states clearly (it is
a major part of the decision) it is the
responsibility of the trustees to maintain,
repair, improve or replace any part of
the common areas including buildings.
We have a legal obligation to protect all
of our investments in the Bay. Now I will
be the first to say that at times “maintenance” has been abused.
Since Brian Lavier and I have joined
the board we have asked for and received
several opinions from our legal counsel
concerning different projects and if a
referendum is needed. Right now the biggest project is “F” building. Between the
facilities committee and the B.O.T. we
have had countless meetings to discuss
and vote on the location and type of
building it will be. We have been given,
on several occasions, Mr. Reppingers
opinion that it does not require a referendum. We are replacing an existing building with a new building to serve the same
purpose as the present building.
In an attempt to be more transparent than past boards I have invited at
least one representative of the H.O.A. to
every meeting we have had to keep them
informed of every discussion we have
concerning our buildings.
I would like to remind everyone that
the members of the B.O.T. are not the
enemy. We are homeowners just like
you. We all care and love Barefoot Bay.
We have many things coming up to discuss and vote on and no matter what we
do someone is going to be mad at us.
Things like the golf carts and where they
should or shouldn’t be allowed. I can
already see there are two camps forming on that one. Every lot owner has a
voice in how we run our Bay. Each of
us has an obligation to attend either a
Trustee meeting or an H.O.A. meeting
and SPEAK UP. I’m a talented guy but I
can’t read minds. I don’t think any of the
other trustees can either. We need and
want your input. The only thing I ask,
if you choose to stand before the board
and reprimand us, please have the facts.
Please see the whole picture not just a
small part taken out of context. Together
there is no problem we can’t solve.
These are my opinions only. I do
not speak for any other trustee or staff
member of the Bay. I welcome your
comments. E-mail me at frankcavaliere@
bbrd.org.
Thank you,
Frank Cavaliere

Treatment of
our Barefoot Bay
Veterans
My husband brought home the
November 9th issue of “A Peek at the
Week” publication which is sponsored by
our Recreation District. Next to the large
banner of VETERANS DAY “THANK YOU
VETERANS! BECAUSE OF YOU WE ARE
FREE.” No Pasta Night at the 19th Hole
in honor of Veteran’s Day. Well, why not
give them a free lunch or dinner as other
restaurants do to honor our vets who put
their lives on the line for our freedoms?
Not us, we cancel Pasta Night “in honor
of Veterans Day”. What kind of honor is
that? Why couldn’t we use the profits from
the 19th Hole to offer vets a simple dish
of pasta to say “THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE”? Some of the restaurants in
the area who are offering free dinners are
Texas RoadHouse and Golden Corral. It’s
too late this year; but let’s think about this
to offer our support to our vets of Barefoot
Bay in 2016 and say THANK YOU in a
much kinder manner.

SNUG HARBOR
THOUGHTS FROM A
NEWBIE
In April 2014 my husband and I made
our first trip to Barefoot Bay and Snug
Harbor. Retirement was looming for my
husband and we were anxious to get out of
the harsh New England winters. That little
visit ended up moving us to Snug Harbor
in August 2014. We still get up each day
and pinch ourselves at our good fortune.
Not only have we left those terrible winters
behind but we have moved into a community that I thought had disappeared from
the planet 50 years ago. A place where
neighbors know one another. A place
where people keep their homes neat and
trim. A place where people pick up after
their dogs. A place with a strong sense of
community and with a group of people who
generously volunteer their time to make
sure that the community runs well and that
fees remain reasonable. Those volunteers
allow people like me, who still work and
don’t have the time to participate the way I
would like to, to live in a peaceful, friendly
and safe place. I have read some issues
regarding how some people currently view
the community and I think they must be
living in another community than the one I
live in. We left an inner city environment in
Massachusetts where our taxes were over
10 times what we pay here. For the honor
of paying those taxes we had less services
than we enjoy here. We also did not know
most of our neighbors in spite of living
there for 30 years. We also had the good
fortune to have to go out in our yard every
day to pick up the trash, dog feces, bottles
and cans that were routinely thrown in our
yard. We had to replace our fence when it
was “tagged” with graffiti. Every month or
so we would have to go pick our trash up
off the street or sweep up our broken recycles when some kid thought it was funny
to tip over the whole neighborhood’s trash
cans. I’m not sure what is causing discord
in the community, but I for one am glad to
be here and feel like it was the luckiest day
of our lives when we found our little nirvana
in Snug Harbor!
Carolyn McDonald
WE ARE 600 STRONG
In October I saw five teenagers skateboarding at Building A. A resident threatened to call the police if they did not leave.
I went over and talked to them. I told them
if they lived in Barefoot Bay, which is
a recreation area for everyone including
the 600 school age residents and maybe
the same amount of parents. I informed
them that if student age residents wanted
an activity, they as a group or with their
parents could come to the recreational
meeting with some information. 1. What
activity they would want; 2. Where would
it be at; 3. How many people would use it;
4. Some idea of cost. At the next meeting some representing the idea should be
there. I have noted from past meetings if
you are not there, they are not sure of your
interest. If enough interest is shown to the
recreational staff, it will be presented to
the Board of Trustees for funding. People
12 years old to 100 years old present what
you want to have the Bay do for recreation.
They cannot just guess at what you want.
Last month I asked people to write about
their bucket list, no one did. Does no one
have a dream. Are we all so old we just
want to watch TV? There are people out
there that may have the same bucket list
as you.

UNHAPPY BAREFOOT
BAY RESIDENT
For years I’ve called John Coffey/community manager and John Morris/property
services manager at Barefoot Bay, FL to
please trim two trees, especially the one
touching the top of my house and plug
one tree. Acorns continuously drop on my
front steps and squirrels jump from the tree
onto my roof - back and forth. Every time
the squirrels bounce around, my two cats
inside the house look at me, tilt their heads
up to the roof and stare back at me. Joe
Klosky, Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
returned my phone call immediately when
I called him the first time. About 4 weeks
ago. The next day he actually drove to my
house and looked at the two Barefoot Bay
trees. He said: both trees are on Barefoot
Bay property; need to be trimmed and
plugged. He assured me that he’d talk
to John Coffey and John Morris. No need
to mention that Klosky complained to me
about not getting paid to help me and told
me that John Coffey and John Morris seldom perform their jobs. Weeks went by. I
heard nothing. I called both Johns again
and Mr. Klosky. I decided to be nasty. Why
not? Being nice was getting me anywhere.
Sooo, how did my performance go? Not
well, No action. Another week went by. I
phoned all three men again. John Morris
arrived at my house early morning with
another man. As they stood at the famous
trees, squirrels flew overhead.
They
agreed: both trees were on Barefoot Bay
property; needed to be trimmed and one
tree plugged. However, refused to state
a date as to when. They left. About 10
minutes later, Klosky and Coffey appeared
at my house. I mentioned that Mr. Morris
and another man had just left my property.
They said, “Who?” “What were they doing
here?” They were shocked. Klosky and
Coffey agreed: both trees are on Barefoot

Lock It When You Leave
For this edition of “The Tattler” I want
to focus our message on the importance
of locking our cars and the additional importance of not leaving valuables
inside our car while it is parked at home
or in a parking lot.
Currently one of the common crime
trends taking place throughout the country is for criminals to go through neighborhoods looking for unlocked cars that
they can easily burglarize. Video footage
from car burglaries often show criminals walking from driveway to driveway
checking for unlocked vehicle doors.
If the doors are locked the criminals
simply walk away and to the next driveway. If they find an unlocked door then
the criminals search through the car
and remove personal belongings such
as checkbooks, computers, firearms,
change, garage door openers, and more.
The easy and quick fix to lower the
likelihood of becoming the victim of a
vehicle burglary is to always remember
to lock your doors. By also limiting the
number of valuables we leave in plain
view in our vehicles we limit the possibility of a burglar seeing our possessions
and deciding to burglarize our vehicle.
The simple rule is to just “Lock It
When You Leave It!!” By locking your
vehicle each and every time you leave
it, you help protect yourself from being
crimes next victim!!
Golf Course Joyride Ends Up In The
Quagmire And Trespass For Three Residents
A joy ride around Barefoot Bay’s golf course ends up in 3 individuals being trespassed from the golf course by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Department. The two
joyriding trespassers Serenity Marques and Dylan VanBever had nowhere to run after
sticking their cart in the quagmire that surrounds part of the equipment wash off area
behind the 14th tee box. Shane Snyder was trespassed for driving a van on the golf
course to pull the cart from the quagmire. These three Barefoot Bay residents were
all violated for Trespass on the Golf course.
Current golf course policy for non-golfers is “Whether walking or riding; The golf
course staff will make the decision whether or not it is safe to allow non-golfers on
the course. May ride or walk course, however during the winter season non-golfing
children 12 years and younger will not be allowed on the course during the months
of November -May. The balance of the year these children will not be allowed on the
course until after 4:00 PM and they must ride in an electric cart. The golfer responsible
will be told to remove the key from the cart when ever the child is left unattended in
the cart. Disregard of the rule will be grounds for removal of the party from the golf
course.”
The Barefoot Bay golf course is private property and is not to be used as a short cut
home or joyrides. If you don’t have permission to be on the golf course it is considered
trespassing and the Brevard County Sheriff has a blanket trespass permission to write
citations for those who choose to trespass on the golf course.

HAPPENINGS
Welcome back snowbirds! We’ve
missed you at the South Mainland Library
these past months, and you’ve made
it back just in time to enjoy some top
entertainment. We are going to have a
wonderful winter and spring at the library,
and I’m so happy to share some exciting
happenings.
Our headliner event, on Tuesday
December 15th at 2pm, comes as a
result of a fan letter I wrote! We are fantastically fortunate to be able to present
“A Visit with TIM SAMPLE”, the noted
Maine humorist and storyteller, and a
heckuva nice guy. Many of you northern
New Englanders may have heard Tim
in performance in venues throughout
the Northeast, where he regularly fills
theaters and opera houses, teaching us
“how to talk Yankee” and making us
laugh with his sly tales of life in Maine.
Others may have seen him during his
years as a correspondent on CBS Sunday
Morning. Tim has graciously agreed to
drop by our library during his Florida
vacation. He’ll be reading from his new
book, ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
NOBODY WAS ASKIN’, and will share
stories about his years in comedy and his
role as the audiobook narrator of Stephen
King’s story “Drunken Fireworks”. He’ll
be happy to answer questions, pose for
photos and autograph his book, which
will be for sale. Tim has many fans, and
we expect this event to fill up quickly,
so plan on picking up a free ticket at
the library Help Desk starting Monday
November 30th (limit 2 per person,
please.) Many thanks to the Friends of
the South Mainland Library for providing
the funds to make this event possible.
On Monday December 7th, at 2pm,
our focus will shift to Florida, and give you
a chance to go way back into Florida’s
past by exploring ARCHAEOLOGY IN
FLORIDA STATE PARKS, presented
by Kevin Gidusko of the Florida Public
Archaeology Network. Archaeology is
happening all the time in Florida, and
Director
South Mainland Branch
664-4066
if you’d like to find out about active
dig sites you can visit in Florida parks,
please plan on joining us for this informative event.
We’ll still have our movies and book
groups in December, too. Our “Movie
You May have Missed” is A PRAIRIE
HOME COMPANION, to be shown on
Tuesday December 8th at 2pm. This
film, the last director Robert Altman ever
made, is a fictional behind-the-scenes
look at the long-running radio show, and
features (of course) Garrison Keillor,
as well as Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep,
Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Kline and
an all-star cast. Our “From the Library
Vault” documentary film, on Thursday
Dec. 17th at 2pm, is GAME SHOW
DYNAMOS. It’s a daughter’s fond look at
her parents, who were on more television
game shows than anyone else in history,
and how they used their winnings to help
support their five children. Our “Haven’t
Got A Clue” Mystery Book Group meets
on Thursday Dec. 10th at 2pm to discuss “That Lonesome Road: Mysteries
set in the American Southwest” (cookies
may be served!) and the Third Thursday
Book Group will meet on Thursday Dec.
17th at 3pm for a discussion of STARRY
NIGHT by Debbie Macomber and a look
back at the group selections of the past
year.
And let’s not forget about Santa!
He will be at the library on Saturday
December 19th from 10:30 to noon, for a
special story time, crafts, and small gifts
for kids up to 12 years old. No registration is required for this fun event. This
event, too, is funded by the Friends of the
South Mainland Library. Many thanks to
all of you who have joined the Friends
and continue to make our programming available to all. If you are not yet
a member, we’d appreciate it if consider
joining. You can pick up a membership
bookmark the next time you are in the
library. And as always, we appreciate
your support.

IRS offers “Many Cookies too” If you prepare early!
‘tis the season to be jolly….’ but it
is also a great time to gather all your
income tax return items.
I know –
as the song words claim “we’ve only
just begun….” SHOPPING, that is. And
who wants to think of medical attention
receipts or charitable gifting (other than
the Santa in front of the store with his
bell ringing) and potential deductions
for what you did to your home and/or
rental properties. Compiling a mileage
chart for that deduction is definitely a
December to-do item. These are just
some of the cookies IRS offers. But you
won’t find a better time than December to
start this detail work. Here’s why:
(1) You may have more ‘slow’ time
now than will be available for the next few
months;
(2) Two months from now you can
file early and get your refund earlier;
(3) While some forms will not come
to you until late January or even later,
at least you can get together the other
“stuff” and be better prepared with less
stress;
(4) By e-Filing early, you help avoid
being a ‘stolen identity’ subject;
(5)_____________________________
________________________ (your choice).
Take a look at some of the cookies
IRS has for you:
Medical and Dental Expenses,
Deductible Taxes, Home Mortgage
Points, Interest Expense, Charitable
Contributions, Miscellaneous Expenses,
Business Use of Home, Business Use of
Car, Business Travel Expenses, Business
Entertainment Expenses, Educational
Expenses, Employee Business Expenses,
Casualty, Disaster and Theft Losses
So many cookies – so many opportunities IF you take advantage of them.
And the nice part is that it doesn’t add
weight to your tax burden – consider
these as ‘diet’ cookies. So many folks
think they don’t have enough deductions to take advantage of Schedule A
in their tax return. (Schedule A is where
these items, and more appear.) The fact
is you will not know unless you gather
your paperwork and check it out. “Oh,
I never have enough deductions” is a
familiar statement I hear. Listen, if you
have enough to only save you $100 in
tax reduction . . . take it. Money back
into your pocket!
Here’s another BIG cookie, compliments of the IRS: Schedule C. For you
readers who have a side business, or
a potentially profitable hobby, this is
where you can really gain the benefit of
income tax reduction. It’s a bit tricky but
with careful attention to detail you gain
immeasurably from a tax standpoint.
Just about anything you do that involves
business expense is a tax deduction on
this magic schedule. Need to discuss
this with me? Free 2915 tax appraisal.
Just call or e-mail me.
Finally, in the cookie jar is Rental
Property. WOW – how about reducing
your taxable income up to $25,000.
How about that bag of cookies! Several
ways to go about this, snowbird or not,
and they are all tasty. Available even if
you only ‘rent’ out part of your home, or
your home part of the time. Yes, it gets
involved but the time and effort to learn
about this is well worth the effort.
Well, Santa may be restricted to a
very limited number of cookies allowable by Mrs. Claus . . . but you have an
IRS cookie jar that simply overflows with
generous offerings – if you take advantage of them. (Assuming IRS keeps the
current extenders in place for your 2015
return.) But you have to ask. Just call or
e-mail me for the latest on this.
And speaking of asking: More details
on these ‘cookies’ is available on the IRS.
gov web site or you can simply call or
e-mail me for information on the cookies
of your choice. As always, complimentary, no obligation.
Next month we kick off with a 3-part
Tax Column exploring ways to save you
tax money. Also, in mid-January I will
be conducting a 2-session workshop on
income tax planning and preparation.
One workshop in Sebastian and the other
in Vero Beach. Excellent for those of you
who do your own taxes. Equally important to my readers who prefer to have a
professional do the work. In the workshop you will learn the basics of income
tax preparation to a level of comfort
and gain knowledge that will save you
money, sometimes thousands, when it
comes to taxation. More details available
by contacting me by phone or e-mail.
No cost, no obligation – just a benefit for
my clients and friends. Until then, thanks
for the confidence you place in me.

Advice given in this column is not intended to be a business solicitation. All advice given is

facts and circumstances. Your personal experiences and results may differ. Please consult
with qualified legal counsel concerning your rights and responsibilities in matters of law.
Q – My son is serving in the military
and is deployed overseas. Is there any
law which protects his rights while away?
A - Federal law mandates that active
members of the United States Armed
Forces be afforded protection from civil
litigation. Protection is codified under
50 U.S.C. Section 501 – also called
the Service Members Civil Relief Act
(SCRA). Protection for active service
members was originally enacted in 1940
as the Soldier’s and Sailors’ Civil Relief
Act (SSCRA), and replaced in 2003 by
the SCRA.
The purpose of the SCRA is to enable
service members to exclusively devote
their energy to the defense of the nation.
The SCRA covers active members of the
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard. Members of the Reserve
Forces and National Guard are also covered by the SCRA if deployed or called to
active duty by the President or Secretary
of Defense for over 30 consecutive days.
Under some provisions of the SCRA, the
spouse and children of a service member
are also covered as dependants.
The SCRA applies to all civil tribunals,
but criminal proceedings are excluded
from the SCRA. If a judgment, order or
adverse ruling is sought against a party
who has not made an appearance in a
case; it becomes the duty of the court
to determine whether that party is in the
military. Upon request, the Department
of Defense will supply that information.
Special SCRA procedural rules apply
to terminating the residential leases and
rent agreements of military members
called to active duty. Mortgage foreclosures are also affected by the SCRA, as
are some debt interest rates.
An active duty military service member can request a stay of the case or
hearing for up to 90 days if the court
determines that a defense to the action
may exist that cannot be presented without the presence of the service member.
Waiver of SCRA rights by service members must be voluntarily made in writing.
The granting of an additional stay is
discretionary, and depends on the decision made by the commanding officer of
the service member regarding authorized
leave. Each military member traditionally accrues 30 days of leave annually.
The continuing effect of active military
duty on the ability of the service member
to appear and defend is therefore determined by the military and the civil courts
on a case by case basis, with a focus on
the military duties assigned to the service
member.

Bay property; need trimming and plugged.
They refused to give a date when. Why
does it require so many sets of eyes to
see large oak trees? To date: no progress.
Mr. Coffey called me several days ago. It
wasn’t to give me a date for the work, just
to calm me down. He said John Morris
often takes 1 to 2 years to get projects
done. I said, “You mean four years” and I
said “you have a lack of communication,
just drive around the neighborhood and
BS with residents”… I reminded Mr. Coffey
that every year Barefoot Bay trims the
trees across the small parking lot right next
to my house and pool, just a few feet away.
Whenever I saw the tree equipment I called
and begged John Morris and John Coffey
to please trim the Barefoot Bay trees on
my roof. Nothing was done. Why am I
paying monthly Barefoot Bay fees? Would
it help if I was a man or a snowbird? The
evidence speaks for itself: trees with lots of
growth, limbs on top of my house, squirrels
bouncing everywhere. There appears to be
a pattern of four men wasting time, running
the neighborhood in pairs of two.
When deposition time rolls around, are
these men going to request to be paired
off again? And ask depositions to be
taken in the Florida Keys, so they’ll have
another excuse not to perform their usual
job duties?
Lynn Morgan
The election
Hi guys it’s me again,
First let me send my congratulations
to Mr. Diana and Mrs. Wright,you both
ran great races, and to Mr. Guinther and
Ms. Crouse you both can be proud of the
way you acted during your campaign, as I
said in my letter last month I have nothing
personal against Ms. Crouse I just did not
like the direction she was trying to take
barefoot bay, that’s all,and to all the people
of the Bay, always remember this, these
people who do this and give us there time,
they do this for nothing, just there love of
the Bay.
Speaking of the direction the Bay is
headed, I really don’t like when trustee Mr.
Cavaliere sits at a meeting and says the
way to fix our problem is to pick up the
phone and call the mortgage holder and
just tell them to lend us three million dollars and just ad it to our bill, he also wants
to replace Building “F” with a five hundred
thousand dollar block building and not let
the residents vote on this, he also asked
the park attorney if he thinks its okay and
he said he would look into it, and folks it’s
not going to get any better even with two
new trustees. You have Mr. Cavaliere who
makes a motion, then Mr. Lavier seconds
the motion, then the board votes and Mr.
Klosky is the third vote, so what ever the
motion is it will pass, and folks where stuck
with this for the next 12 months. I would
strongly recommend you start attending
the district meetings to see what’s going
on, “ITS YOUR MONEY”.
Last but not least I would like to thank
all the grown ups who attended the kids
junk in the trunk party on Halloween in the
parking lot at the “A” Building, it was really
a great time had by all, I hope the H.O.A.
keeps doing this every year for the kids its
really a great turn out, and my hats off to
all the folks who ran this affair.
Thanks again

NEW BUDGET
AND RAISING THE
ASSESSMENTS - SNUG
HARBOR
That very word, assessments sets
everyone off. When a developer plays
games and is caught, what happens? You
pay and pay for years. To some longer
than a lifetime. A shame our penalty was
12 years! No increases in dues. What was
our fee at that time $22.50 per month. Yes
it was cheap! Too cheap. When turnover
came, dues went up to “By Law” to $24.00
and most of the time our mighty developer
did not pay, on his 147 lots. Ask yourselves what should dues (be)? Maybe the
same as Barefoot Bay. Or even higher.
Only time will tell, as you can see. “Too
Many Keys”. Yes only “time will tell”. Our
roads your problems and mine. Not the
counties. How much will it cost to repair
our damage pipes back to retention ponds
and repave according to up dated codes?
We own them, all of us. Cost unknown.
Maybe a Special Assessment. That is no
laughing matter. How much? Smile if you
can. You own a doughnut hole county
stated. Call it a compound for a few! Need
it? No. Cost to us $236,000 in 15 years.
Some smart lady stated our fees are
too low. After that lady put in over 150
hours of her time working it out “No Pay”
approximately $4.00 per month to cover
our losses from monies lost by hands of
past board members neglect. Residence
crying are you “nuts”? No way. Play with
the nine month budget. Take funds from
Peter to pay Paul. Is that what we call
reserves?
So their back “pumpkin time”. Let’s call
it a change of season, walkers, golf carts
with pets, and a few bike riders. New ones
for how long, only time will tell. I hear a
new system, greater than two cans and a
long string. Why is it so great, you can
call Canada. My oh my, there is problems
with such calls as these. North of the Great
Lakes, some of us, you and I will have to
learn French or Canadian, “you all”.
What we lost, a land line, no more
emergency or train wreck and telling us to
boil water. It’s called “Robo” calls. These
are not only used for elections, but save
lives, it can be yours! Do the listen, no
or take heed of what lays below us? It’s
called assessments, Joe! Take Niantic
Ave., built without permits. So they say,
surveys, engineering blue prints, piping,
feel and least of all, drainage, both sides
of the road at that “place” land is higher in
Barefoot Bay.
At what cost, approximately $250,000.
Gee there is a bright side, our partners,
the other side of the track will have to pay
one fifth of that cost. Mr. Smith will cry use
reserve money, sorry, read the blue book,
Mr. Smith, that’s not reserve. It’s proper
calling is “assessments”, could be up to
fifty grand, maybe. And to all welcome to
Florida, land of sunshine and condos, and
of course snowbirds.
And to that one person that send back
mail unopened, claims he not living really,
are you dead? Tell us Mr. Ghost, how soon
like a wind in the night flying back to area
#931. If you need some mortgage documents, ask Mrs. A, or the present board
for the copies. I have a copy, you must
ask Mrs. A, she signed the papers, not the
carpet baggers, the collect.
My message to all. Send your check
signed, no amount entered, but in lower
left hand corner fill in “Assessment” so
think before foolish spending or paying off
past happenings. Did you need it, ask for
Mr. La and did you onto put in print quote
“We must get rid of those tow”, unquote.
Same on you. They served proudly. Tell
all under which quilt did you hide? That
$236,000 - 15 year deal. No, it was going
to be free.
Yes the trains are coming, Singing
night and day, lets call it Flagler Way from
Jacksonville to Key West. Get ready ply a
short time. Longer than 28 trains, speed
over 80 mph, plus more freight cars. Start

Well the elections are over and the residents have spoken. Let’s hope someone
is listening. I want to keep this as short
as I can. The Building “F” project that has
been on everyone’s mind has turned into
a he said they said battle. What is really
important is how much of OUR money are
the Trustees going to spend on this project.
Let’s look at some facts;
A block building cost between $113.00
per sq. ft. (as Mr. Guinther reported when
he looked at the building Grant/Valkaria
built in 2014) and $125.00 per sq. ft. that
I had guessed would be the price including inflation. Just to be on the high side
a 4000 sq. ft. building that cost $125.00
per sq. ft. would cost $500,000.00. At the
March 5th
Facilities meeting (page 2)
Mr. Coffey explained the tentative plans
for a 3000 sq. ft. building while the April
8th report from TLC, revised on April 23rd,
calls for an approximately 4000 sq. ft.
building. Just to give you an idea the difference that would make on the price; a 4000
sq. ft. building would cost $500,000.00
while a 3000 sq. ft. building would cost
$375,000.00. Someone should figure out
what size the building is before we hire
someone to build it, don’t you think? To
be fair to the District they did give TLC a
copy of the customer quote for a 42’ X 75’
modular structure. When I went to school,
a long time ago, that came to 3150 sq. ft.
Why on earth would they give proposal for
a building that is 850 sq. ft. larger? Even
with the new math I can’t explain that one.
Then we get into the fun stuff; did
anyone explain where and how much it
is going to cost to relocate staff, phones,
cable, etc. during the construction of this
new building? How about the electric that
supplies the parking lot? Remember we
were told that the electric for the parking
lot was replaced during the parking lot
renovation? Do you remember last year
when the Christmas parade was going on
Matt, John and myself were in the parking
lot digging up the burnt electrical wires
(Matt did the digging) so that the parade
participants did not end the parade in a
parking lot without lights. Those wires,
to my knowledge, have not been fixed
permanently yet. We are told we need
a new parking lot and retention pond for
building “F” (building “F” ph 2 – additional
parking) $200,000.00 as listed in the 5
year plan dated 9/1/2015 5:19pm. Keep
in mind Brian Lavier made the only smart
thought from the Trustees. Why not build
it behind the shopping center? The price of
the building is going to be about the same
no matter where it is built. What we do not
need is all the extra costs associated with
locating it in the same spot as building “F”.
Might just be common sense.
I may sound like a broken record, but
in the Charter Ordinance No.84-05 Article
IV section 13. It clearly states “including
all obligations proposed to be assumed in
connection with such acquisition”.
Bob Kahl
whatever way is needed moving forward
to ensure the rules are followed. We need
to find a solution because if we don’t use
some kind of enforcement or penalty, more
people will become complacent which
will negatively impact our neighborhoods.
Some problems are easier solved than others and everyone wants to feel safe wherever we are. Purchasing up to date surveillance camera’s would be a deterrent. The
good thing about camera’s is there is only
one story. The one the camera has on
tape. It would not require a huge investment of time to review because you would
only have to do so if someone reported a
problem. Putting signs to show residents
where not to go or park could also help.
I don’t pretend it’s a cure-all but would
clearly define areas. A stronger police
presence would be something we also
need to explore. We won’t solve everything
overnight but we need to start somewhere
working together toward a common goal.
In closing I want to thank everyone who
volunteered on our dream-team walking
door to door; all who hosted and attended
our very successful coffee klatches; the
very generous donors; all who donated their time and golf carts on election
day; the many clubs and businesses who
allowed me to come and share my ideas;
the homeowners and businesses who let
us put our sunshine yellow signs in their
yards; our talented, enthusiastic, dedicated, imaginative, hard working campaign
team Mary, Ann, Carol, Bob, Carole, Kim,
M.J., Linda, Donna and my fantastic husband E.J.
I want to end this article the way I
began... THANK YOU BAREFOOT BAY

My sincere thanks to everyone who
voted for me. I have met many of you
through some of the activities our “Bay”
has to offer, at different meetings and our
door to door campaign. You have shared
your concerns, your ideas and your hope
for the future of this community. My tagline throughout the campaign was help
me-help you. Well, you’ve done your part
by helping me get elected. I am very
honored and excited to start working with
the other trustee’s, staff and our H.O.A.
In January it will be my turn to keep my
promise.......... to help you.
Through our many conversations two
immediate concerns were mentioned over
and over.
You want enforcement
of our deed of restrictions and you want
more security. I will work diligently to help

yours. Enrolling in the VA health care
system is quick and easy Just stop in the
Veteran’s Service Office at Bldg “D & E”

THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT,
YOUR TAXES AND YOU:
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA),
all Americans including all military
members (active duty, retired, Selected
Reserve, or Retired Reserve) and their eli-
gible family members must have health
care coverage that meets a minimum
standard called minimum essential coverage or pay a fee. Your TRICARE coverage meets the minimum essential coverage requirement under the ACA.
“The term “active duty” means fulltime duty in the active service of a
uniformed service for more than 30 consecutive days”.
Beginning in January 2016, DFAS will
be providing IRS Form 1095-C to all U.S.
military members, and IRS Form 1095B to all Retirees, Annuitants, former
spouses and all other individuals having
TRICARE coverage during all or any portion of tax year 2015. An IRS Form 1095
documents you (and your family members, if applicable) have the minimum
essential coverage.
These forms will document the information that DFAS will provide to the IRS
on yourself and your authorized family
members. The forms will be required to
be reported with your 2015 federal tax
return. DFAS will provide you with IRS
Form 1095 series forms no later than
Jan. 31, 2016
You can find more information about
the impact of the Affordable Care Act on
your federal income tax at: http://www.
irs.gov/Affordable-Care-Act.
In the very near future watch for the
Barefoot Bay Veteran’s Service Office

ask you questions and we can get back
to you with information or an answer to
your question.

Q. How do seniors benefit from aerobic exercises?
A. All ages benefit from regular
sessions of exercise daily to weekly.
Exercising does not have to consist of
high-intensity aerobics. Daily periods
of walking and/or muscle strengthening
exercises yield many great benefits, like
the ones listed below:
· Helps maintain the ability to live
independently and reduces the risk of
falling and fracturing bones.
· Reduces the risk of dying from
coronary heart disease and of developing high blood pressure, colon cancer,
and diabetes.
· Can help reduce blood pressure in
some people with hypertension.
· Helps people with chronic, disabling
conditions improve their stamina and
muscle strength.
· Reduces symptoms of anxiety and
depression and fosters improvements in
mood and feelings of well-being.
· Helps maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints.
· Helps control joint swelling and pain
associated with arthritis.
For more information and tips on the
best exercise options for you, visit the
Centers for Disease Control website at
www.cdc.gov.

Planning for a healthier you in 2016!
The start of a new year comes with
goals and resolutions to be a better version of you. Here are some practical,
straightforward tips on how much exercise you should be getting. Let’s strive for
a healthier version of ourselves in 2016!
Q. I am over the age of 65. How much
exercise do I need?
A. For adults age 65 and older, the
Centers for Disease Control recommends
2 hours and 30 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity every week, and
muscle-strengthening activities that will
work your major muscle groups (legs,
hips, back abdomen, chest, shoulders
and arms) on 2 or more days a week.
Two hours and 30 minutes may seem
like a long time, but it figures out to 150
minutes total, and it is fine to do only 20
minutes at a time. Break it up and have
fun!
Q. What is considered ‘moderateintensity aerobic activity’?
A. Your 150 minutes (about as much
time as it takes to watch a good movie)
of healthy activity each week could consist of brisk walking, mowing the lawn
with a push lawn mower, deep cleaning
the house, or stretching and yoga exercises.
Q. I like to work up a good sweat.
How long do I need to work out to stay
healthy?
A. It is recommended that seniors age
65 and older have 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity
every week, and muscle-strengthening
activities on 2 or more days that work all
major muscle groups.
Q. What are examples of vigorousintensity aerobics?
A. If you like to work up a sweat,
you are probably a runner or athlete.
Jogging, basketball, soccer, swimming
laps or long-distance cycling are all
activities that will keep your heart rate
elevated for an extended period of time. If
you have questions about your ability to
take on one of the above, make sure you

Laugh,
talk, live
with comfort and confidence
Is your loose denture causing you to:
• miss out on life’s simple pleasures?
• miss eating your favorite foods,
like steak or corn on the cob?
• be afraid to laugh, smile or speak
in public?
The MDI system consists of a miniature titanium alloy that acts like the
root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorperated into the
base of your denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball,
and the retaining fixture acts like a socket with a rubber O-ring.
The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds
the denture firmly in place. When seated, the denture gently rests
on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while
withstanding natural lifting forces.

their District Meeting at Post #1, Titusville
on Dec. 12. Registration will start at 9:00

to get your tickets early as this card party
always sells out.
We are planning a small Christmas

mark your calendar for Dec.15. A great
time will be had by all.
I am looking forward to meeting and
greeting all our old and new members.

BAREFOOT BAY ARTISTS’ GUILD
The first fall meeting of the BFB
Artists’ Guild was held on October 16th
Many members were not back from up
north, but business was discussed. On
October 23rd Maureen Fitzpatrick and
Joan Whitton set up still life groupings for
us to draw or paint, a good values lesson.
Gary Gresko, a new member volunteered
to give a class, November 6th, on mobile
making/creating. Those who attended, armed with tin snips, scissors, etc.
enjoyed this unique form of art. David
McKee has created a Facebook Group
called Barefoot Bay Artists’ Guild. He
has sent out instructions on his emails.
Questions...call Dave. November 20th
was the general meeting, and plans for
the Christmas luncheon on December
14th discussed. Catered by 19th Hole,
Kathy Mendez, price $18.00 pp. Maureen
Fitzpatrick is distributing mini canvas
boards with magnets for your refrigerators for members to paint and exchange
at the Christmas party. Something different .. and fun! Hope everyone has a
wonderful Thanksgiving, and remembers how blessed we are to live here in
Barefoot Bay!

BAREFOOT BAY BOAT AND
FISHING CLUB
We’re back! The Barefoot Bay Boat
and Fishing Club had its’ Octoberfest
recently at Fisherman’s landing in Grant.
Lots of hot dogs and bratwurst sizzling
on the grill and plenty of dishes to pass,
such as sauerkraut, wonderful cooked-up
onions and salads of many kinds along
with deserts, we had a fine feast! Plenty
to eat for the 50 or so people that showed
up! Barry Stokes headed up the event
with plenty of help from the members,
it was a great success. Thanks to all of
those that helped. It threatened rain the
early AM, and it probably did somewhere
in the Bay, but by the time we reached
Fisherman’s Landing the weather was
looking good. A warm steady breeze
made for a comfortable day for a picnic. As always, it’s nice to welcome our
snowbirds back and catch up on the latest news. And to meet some new people
that have joined or will be joining. Our
next regular meeting will be held on the
2nd Friday of the month at Building D at
7:30 PM. We always are happy to have
new people join us, we are a mixture
of boaters and fisher people. We try to
have an interesting speaker related to
fishing and or boating. Refreshments are
served.

Chess Master Alexander Alekhine
Alexander Aleksandrovich Alekhine
(Russian): October 19] 1892 – March
24, 1946) was a Russian chess grandmaster and the fourth World Chess
Champion. He is widely considered one
of the greatest chess players ever. By
the age of 22, Alekhine was already
among the strongest chess players in the
world. During the 1920s, he won most
of thetournaments in which he played.
In 1921, Alekhine left Soviet Russia,
he represented France since 1925.
In 1927, he became the fourth World
Chess Champion by defeating José Raúl
Capablanca. In the early 1930s, Alekhine
dominated tournament play and won two
top-class tournaments by large margins.
He also played first board for France in
five Chess Olympiads, winning individual
prizes in each (four medals and a brilliancy prize). Alekhine offered Capablanca a
rematch on the same demanding terms
that Capablanca had set for him, and
negotiations dragged on for years without making much progress. Meanwhile,
Alekhine defended his title with ease
against Efim Bogoljubov in 1929 and
1934. He was defeated by Max Euwe
in 1935, but regained his crown in the
1937 rematch. His tournament record,
however, remained uneven, and rising
young stars like Paul Keres, Reuben
Fine, and Mikhail Botvinnik threatened
his title. Negotiations for a title match
with Keres or Botvinnik were halted by
the outbreak of World War II in Europe
in 1939. Negotiations with Botvinnik for
a world title match were proceeding in
1946 when Alekhine died in Portugal,
in unclear circumstances. Alekhine is
known for his fierce and imaginative
attacking style, combined with great
positional and endgame skill. He is highly
regarded as a chess writer and theoretician, producing innovations in a wide
range of chess openings and giving his
name to Alekhine’s Defence and several other opening variations. He also
composed some endgame studies. The
chess games of Alekhine can be viewed
& played through here: http://www.
chessgames.com/player/alexander_alekhine.html. Relax and read through the
articles. Enjoy.

CONSERVATIVE CLUB
Our “moral betters” on the Left complain about what they call America’s
“adolescent” and “sick” obsession with
firearms. America’s “Gun Culture” is an
embarrassment to the Left, when they
talk with Leftist European friends. But
does American gun ownership account
for high murder rates? That is the question.
It is true that in terms of gun ownership America ranks first out of 218 countries with 90 gun owners out 100 citizens.
America is the gun owning capital of the
world way ahead of Serbia, which comes
in second with 58 per 100.
The Left’s mythology based on this
alone concludes, America must be number 1 in the murder rate category. Let’s
look at the facts. The first place winner
is Honduras, a Socialist gun-controlled
Club News From Page 18
country with 58 per 100,000. America
doesn’t even come up in the top 100.
America ranks 111 out of 218. We are
in the bottom 50%, way behind big state
governments run by Leftists.
But this doesn’t tell us the whole truth.
Our death rate numbers are inflated by
Democrat-Leftist controlled cities like
Detroit with a death rate of 54.6 per
100,000, followed by New Orleans, St.
Louis, Baltimore, Oakland, Stockton,
Kansas City, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
Memphis, Atlanta, Chicago. If Detroit
was a country, it would be second behind
Honduras. These cities inflate our murder
rate, and they have been run by gun-controlling Democrat-Leftists for decades.
The more gun control laws DemocratLeftists pass the higher the death rate.
And they know it.
Plano, Texas ranked at the bottom
of American cities at 0.4 per 100,000.
Plano is the place where every house has
an AK-47 and all other kinds of firearms,
knives, tomahawks, etc. This gun-crazed
city has the lowest murder rate. Think
about that. If America’s murder rate
was Plano’s, gun crazy land according
to Leftists, America’s murder rate would
rank 211 out of the 218 countries and
not 111. Question: is it more difficult to
legally get a gun in Plano or Detroit?
So where’s the problem? According
to facts and not Leftist mythology, it’s
not the guns and our fellow citizens who
legally own them. Where is the murder
rate lowest? It is lowest in places with
high gun ownership. This is just another
Inconvenient Truth for the Left.

PETALS AND PALMS
Our first meeting of the season was
held on Nov. 4 at 10:00 am in “C” building. We discussed working on our projects over the next 4 months: On Dec.
2 at 10:00 am we will have our Dec.
meeting at the entrance to East Lake
and clean up and mulch that area. We
will not be mulching all the areas all the
way down the road as it too much work
for our small band of workers. We will
request Property Services to pull up the
spent “goldmound” shrubs outside the
gate at Pool 2 and replant that area with
some type of low maintenance/low water
needs other shrubs by January. For the
Feb.3 meeting we will meet at the softball field for our annual cleaning up and
mulching of that area.
The Reflection Garden will get powerwashed when John Gracyalny returns.

Upstate NY Club
To All New Yorkers,
Although the name says “Upstate”
this club is for all those who live or have
lived in New York. Our meetings are
usually on the first Wednesday of each
month in Building A. The social hour
begins about 5:15 with dinner at 6 followed by entertainment. The first meeting was on November. It was the yearly
November pizza party to welcome back
those who have arrived and say hello to
those who have stayed over the summer.
President, Barb Maginn, spoke about
this season. December’s and January’s
meals will be a pot luck. Oh, what good
foods are brought! Please bring a dish to
serve 8 and you own table service. The
club will take care of dessert. February
is catered and celebrates the winter season. March is catered for St. Patrick’s
Day. And of course April is our picnic
featuring Rochester Zweilgle hotdogs.
The entertainment planned is “Just Me
Too” for December, Kenny Williams for
January, Gene Callahan for February,
and Jim Driskell for March. Barb shared
the fact that the club’s treasury is low.
The problem was discussed. The members decided to raise the dues from $5
to $10. The club will ask 2002 restaurant
to cater our meals. And the members
voted to pay a higher cost for the catered
meals. The club relies on callers to give
notice of meetings and information. The
new caller chairman is Pam Rice. The
callers are June Arnold, Jane Payne,
Pat LaDuca, and Caroline Wright. A new
sunshine chairman is needed. Please
consider volunteering for this important
position. The meeting concluded with
the sharing drawing. Claire Cox was the
winner. She donated her winnings to
the club to purchase a new needed coffee pot. Everyone, have a very happy
Thanksgiving. I hope to see many New
Yorkers at the December pot luck dinner,
meeting, and entertainment.

As we enter into the Fall, Winter holiday season let us celebrate Thanksgiving
by giving thanks to our gracious, loving God for all the blessings we have
received throughout the year. With a special thanks that we have survived another
hurricane season unscathed.
I pray that many of you were able
to attend the annual Ecumenical
Thanksgiving
Community
service
at Saint Sebastian Catholic Church. I
believe that God smiles when he sees the
variety of churches, temples and choirs
come together as one to worship God our
father in word and song.
When we enter December Concordia
will again have their Advent services.
The word Advent means to come and we
come to church to prepare our hearts for
the Christmas season. We will have brief,
informal services for the three weeks
leading up to Christmas on Wednesday
at 4:30 on December 2nd, 9th, and
16th. On the 24th (Christmas eve) our
service will be at 7:00 pm. We will have
our traditional service with music, carols and readings from the Old and New
Testaments and will end with the very
emotional lighting of candles and singing Silent Night. Then the glory of the
Lord came from heaven as a baby on
Christmas day.
Please join us for one or all of these
times of worship. You are always welcome at 10:30 on Sunday mornings for
regular worship followed by a time of fellowship over coffee.
Hebrews 13 5-6. “Never will I leave
you or forsake you. The Lord is my
helper I will not be afraid”.

for donating Christmas shoe boxes for

message of Jesus to them. Again thanks
to all who participated and especially
Laura & George Draper coordinators
for this ministry for many years. We
recently upgraded our sound system
in the church. Much appreciation goes
to Dave Fournier for his expertise and
long hours working on the new equipment & teaching the staff. The Christmas

Five December Decisions for a Great
Year End. Good endings can be chosen. Here are some good choices for
a good December and end to 2015.
One, eat your way through our Advent
Pot-Luck on December 6 at 5 p.m. No
roasted elves or reindeer hooves but
plenty of sweet deserts. Two, as you view
the beautiful greenery and lighted trees
adorning our simple sanctuary worship
each and every week of Advent (at 10
a.m.). Three, shop at our Thrift Shop
where your dollar goes further and that
dollar helps a church (Tue, Thur-Sat 9
a.m. to 3 p.m.) Four, if you are quieter
this year for some reason, let your heart
be where your heart is by attending our
Blue Christmas Service on Dec. 24 at 3
p.m. Or come at 7 p.m. for a traditional
Christmas Eve Service. Five, grab an
ornament off our Angel Tree and follow
its instruction on how to help a child of
nearby migrant workers.

RIVER OF LIFE CHURCH
Welcome back to everyone who has
returned to Florida’s little paradise otherwise known as Barefoot Bay or home
to many of us. Everyone in Barefoot
Bay has given such a warm welcome to
our Church that we would like to give
back. On Saturday, December 19th at
6:30PM in the Barefoot Bay Community
Center River of Life Church combined
with Determined Youth of Barefoot Bay
will be showing a FREE movie to give
back to you.
Many wonderful things are happening
at River of Life Church, the women’s ministry meets twice a month and are experiencing renewed growth and excitement
for the things of God. The men’s ministry
which also meets twice a month is going
through the book of Acts and a new
desire has been birthed for the ministry of
God’s Word. God has been moving each
week here at River of Life Church mainly
seen on Sunday mornings as lives are
being challenged, and renewed by the
love and mercy of God’s Holy Spirit.
Maybe you feel as though you don’t
matter to God or how could he care for
someone like yourself. First of all let me
say that I am sorry for your pain and
anger toward God. However, I want to
be the first to tell you that “you matter to
God.” You see God has a big investment
in you. He sent His Son Jesus Christ
to die on the cross just for you and He
desires that you only believe in Him.
For the month of December I would
like to focus on the special gifts and talents of Linda Moran and Florence Phelan.
Linda loves to express her love for God
in her worship each week as she sings
with the Worship team at River of Life.
Florence also loves to praise the Lord
and make sure He gets all the Glory.
Thank you, Linda and Florence for your
example to all of us on worshipping or
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As you can
tell we love our church people here at
River of Life but we are missing one thing
maybe you can help us. We are missing
YOU……
Are you looking for someplace to get
involved, meet new people, or use your
talents in ministry to this area? Please
join us here at River of Life Church.
We have Women’s Ministry, Men’s
Ministry, Children’s Church, mid week
Bible Studies, Alzheimer’s Outreach,
Prayer Group, Sunday Worship and now
Determined Youth. Sunday services start
at 10:30 AM and children are welcome
to attend children’s church at the same
time. River of Life Church is your church
made up of residents from Barefoot Bay
and the surrounding areas. We would
like to invite you to join us each Sunday
and Thursday as we gather together to
sing praises and grow from the Words
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If
you have any questions or are in need of
pastoral help please feel free to call River
of Life Church at 772-571-7617. “God
bless you”

remembers all the Soldiers who have

God bless you all.

SEEMS TO ME:
· People tend to make rules for others and exceptions for themselves.
· Never before has a generation so diligently recorded themselves accomplishing
so little.
· It’s easier to fool most people then it is to convince them they have been fooled.
· The voices in my head may not be real, but they do have some good ideas!
· Many people quit looking for work when they find a job.
LIFE IN BAREFOOT BAY:
Dan and Jim were sitting on one of the benches under a tree at the “A” building
when Dan turns to Jim and says, “Jim, I’m 83 years old now and I’m just full of aches
and pains. I know you’re about my age. How do you feel?” Jim says, “I feel just like
a newborn baby.”, “Really!” says Dan, “Like a newborn baby?” Jim replies, “Yep, No
hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.”
